GIRLS INCORPORATED OF ST LOUIS

Girls Incorporated of St. Louis (Girls Inc.) provides educational and cultural programs in safe environments for girls that enable them to raise their aspirations and realize their potential. Girls Inc. inspires all girls to be strong, smart and bold! Established locally in 1981, Girls Inc. of St. Louis has relocated three times to accommodate expanding membership. In 2004, the agency moved to the Nelson Center, its permanent home in the City of Northwoods in North St. Louis County. Formerly the Ascension St. Paul School building, the facility has the capacity to serve 550 to 600 girls. At Girls Inc., we believe that each child has a unique intellectual, emotional, spiritual and physical potential. The cultivation of this potential is our priority. Programs give girls the information, skills, strategies and resources they need to make good decisions, solve problems, meet their own needs and lead others. These activities provide the opportunity to experience success as they grow to understand their options, accept new responsibilities and face new challenges.
